“An Encounter with King George III”
Inferences Chart
In her diary, Burney provides poignant revelations about George III and his illness and
its effect on life at the royal court. As you read the selection, use text clues and your
own knowledge to make inferences, or logical guesses, about the effects of the king’s
condition on those around him. See examples.
Passages about the King George III
Inferences
“This morning, when I received my intelligence of
the king from Dr. John Willis, I begged to know
where I might walk in safety? „In Kew Gardens,„ he
said, „as the king would be in Richmond‟” (lines 79).
Burney avoids the king because his presence
threatens her in some way
“I thought I saw the person of his majesty! Alarmed
past all possible expression, I waited not to know
more, but turning back ran off with all my might”
(lines 18-21).
Burney is terrified of the king. She may be afraid
because she may have broken the rules of the
royal court.

from “A Vindication of the Rights of Women”
HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND USING RESOURCES
To best appreciate why Wollstonecraft wrote A Vindication of the rights of Woman,
you would have some sense of the essay’s historical context, or the social conditions
that inspired its creation. Although the essay might seem conservative by modern
standards its views were considered radical in 18th-centry Britain, where few women
publicly expressed discontent over their limited educational opportunities To further
your understanding of the historical context of Wollstonecraft’s work, study the author
biography on page 718, the background information on page 720 and the footnotes
within the essay. Then, as you read, note statements that you are able to clarify by
suing this information. See example.
Statement
“[Women] spend many of the first years of their
lives in acquiring a smattering of
accomplishments” (lines 66-67).
Explanation
In Wollstonecraft’s era, girls were schooled
primarily in domestic activities
Neoclassicism
Romanticism
